Is MAGA Quasi-Fascist?

[0nelilreb]

I don't necessarily think so but the movement could easily be taken over by those who would make it so. Rogan had a good line recently that Trump really "ramped up the dumb people." They don't know what they're cheering for but really believe their team won. That's dangerous given their passion

Currently the left is trending way more fascist than the right.

.. And given the lefts history in this country .. that’s dangerous AF considering their “ passion” .

 

[0nelilreb]

Look-it. I have concerns about certain policies pushed by certain Democrats. But you are not describing Joe Biden with most of those. The alternative is a man who openly talks about becoming dictator and openly led a coup to overturn the Election. Your perceptions and priorities are messed up.

Dude …

Biden says he's looking at executive orders on abortion rights if Supreme Court strikes down Roe - CNNPolitics

 

[rekinhavoc]

Biden is a dictator . Mr executive order himself.

 

[luthervol]

But 81M support what the left stands for? Those 70M just need to know who to blame on the financial debacle we are in.

The left doesn't even agree completely on what the left should stand for, and that's as it should be.
The only thing those 81 million agreed on was that they did not want four more years of Trump.

How’s that working out at the dinner table? And give facts not Luther opinions. We have a racist in office for starters, but please proceed.

Uhhh. Nothing like it?

Ultra nationalist? At the very least, most nationalist movement I can remember.

Dictatorial leader? I mean, yeah to an extent, but not too different from other presidents, but still.

Centralized autocracy? Did Trump expand the power of the presidency? Yeah, but not too...

Forcible suppression of the opposition? Trump openly made threats to the media. MAGA people want to drop the hammer on big tech so they can't oppose the right with their property.

This is at least a little like fascism.

“Subordination of individual interests for the good of the nation”

I can guess which of our posters popped wood reading that ^

If Trump would have just used the IRS on his political opponents and spied on journalists, he would have been a fascist. He just came up a little short .

Had he required people to get jobs or lose their job he would be a fascist. Sorry, that was Biden.

“What we’re seeing now is either the beginning or the death knell of an extreme MAGA philosophy. It’s not just Trump. It’s the entire philosophy that underpins the – I’m going to say something. It’s like semi-fascism.”
Democratic President Joe Biden

“The fact that the President would go out and just insult half of America … effectively call half of America semi-fascist...it’s horribly inappropriate.”
Republican Gov. Chris Sununu of New Hampshire

Ironic that the idiot calling out fascists when they're the ones denying rights to Americans.

Well you know , it was the pandemic of the unvaxxed.

And Luther is talking about Biden being a unifier.

But they voted for it.

Yep. Impossible to go anywhere now without seeing marches with Klan costumes and people wearing styles from the 1920s. It is all over the place.

PROOF! PROOF I say!

 

[GroverCleveland]

The use of "America First" as a catchphrase should scare the absolute Hell out of anybody with any sense and any knowledge of history whatsoever.
The Dimwits get their info from CNN, MSNBC, and the like.
Many Reps actually think FOX is "fair and balanced" and that Trump is more than an egocentric actor.
Both sides are indignant in their righteousness.
We are screwed.
GO VOLS

I have a pretty good sense of history. Explain this please as to why I should be terrified of it?

 

[GroverCleveland]

These people marched through my town 70 maybe 80 years ago. I'm pretty sure they're planning another one any day now.

Look at the clothing and the hats. Could have been 100, but yes your point it dead on. Going to start back anytime.

 

[GroverCleveland]

Super duper ultra maga extreme maga nation unite!

Joey Jones on Fox had the best joke about it. "Ultra MAGA? Sounds like a cigarette brand. 'Give me a pack of UltraMaga 100s!'"

I don't think half the country is MAGA. Maybe 25 to 30 percent cling to their resentments about changing demographics, which is the entire foundation of it. But even that is dwindling as people start to realize they can't change what they can't change.

[GroverCleveland]

Look-it, Glad. You are right about people recklessly bandying labels. But we're talking about something MFing serious. I do not think Biden is calling "Wolf!" when there is no wolf.

Biden shakes hands with air.

Biden is the biggest pos liar
50 years of lies and corruption
So excuse me if i would ever trust that pos

Costly mistake on his end. I’m more concerned about those who still can’t admit they screwed up and got played by Biden/Covid over a “Ultra MAGA” voter. They fail to see what their vote did in regards to setting us back.
